A good trick is to try to use your old Am licks and just tweak them a bit to make them work. You should find that sometimes just changing the rhythm or adding or removing a note or 2 will make them work great

That tip and starting to really listen to, and try to copy, other players' licks has helped. Disc is a lot of fun to play along to, even if I feel like I'm cheating by throwing the same lick out in a couple different keys.
